Never, until he doesn’t obey Trump.

Gaetz was reportedly two days away from the House Ethics Committee releasing its report on his… activities with minors - which was going to be damning. Gaetz instead quits congress to nullify their jurisdiction, and Trump gets easy blackmail over his new AG.

Obviously having a crony run the Justice Department kills all of Trumps investigations, but it also lets him steer the department as he pleases.

Except that basically every angle except geopolitics, MIC profits, and AIPAC money, pointed towards curbing Israel/Bibi as a a good move. Even a free and independent Palestine has supermajority support - from a Nov-Oct poll of American Jewish voters:

Jewish voters… priorities include a major speech proposing a Palestinian state and diplomatic relations between Israel and Arab states (72 percent) and increasing humanitarian aid to Palestinians (71 percent). There is also significant support (66 percent) for sanctioning Israeli ministers Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich for aiding violent settler attacks against Palestinians.

Emphasis mine. Review the data if you care, but the continuation of Bidens policies was a huge self own. Resolve the issue and Republicans/Russian messaging of ‘Genocide Joe’ falls flat.

I’m disengaging bc this is going nowhere and besides, sidebar rules - stay on topic.

JAGEX WOLNT READ THIS

You’re interpreting “hey, this word you used is contrary to the rest of your argument - are you sure about your argument?” in a confrontational manner. Hence the question mark, and not something like “dumbass, Bernie was talking about the working class smh”. Hence the definition copypasta, because you (seemingly) conflated working class with middle class.

I can go back and absolutely re-read my post through the lens of condescension instead of a question, but so far you’re the only one who’s maintained an insulting tone.

My guy, you made a typo which undercut your own argument, this was not me being pedantic over something like spelling or sentence structure.

I’ll accept that I could have worded it better, but it was a genuine question after having read your post, touting “middle class” Biden policies.

the most pro-union pro-middle class president in decades

So you agree with Bernie that he wasn’t helping the working class?

middle class 

noun

1. The socioeconomic class between the working class and the upper class, usually including professionals, highly skilled laborers, and lower and middle management.
2. A social and economic class lying above the working class and below the upper class

Please stop. We don’t need a blue “stop the steal”, take this L and learn from it instead of boosting impossible conspiracies about Starlink and packet tampering

Obama won, with record turnout and vote count. Clinton won the popular vote in 2016, despite her severe unlikeability and controversial history.

While it is important to recognize the role that white supremacy and misogyny have, it has demonstrably not been a hard ceiling.

Perception is (unfortunately) reality. While the campaign website and position papers were solid - especially contrasted with Trump’s “concept of a plan” nonsense, if you don’t effectively communicate how those plans are going to impact voters positively, it isn’t going to help you.

Biden did in fact win the primary in 2024 before he dropped out - as the incumbent he massively benefited from recognition and campaign staffing, but he still had to run. Had he kept to his “one term president” statement, there would have been an open primary instead of Harris’s ascension.

Corporate news and engagement driven profit motive has poisoned democracy for a long time, yellow journalism dates to the 1800s. A mad dash to make a network of “liberal Joe Rogan podcasts” will be effective for direct messaging. But if your messaging is still a defense neoliberalism and globalization, you are going to keep losing. To someone for whom having an extra $50 in their pocket is a big deal, the centrist-Dem message is not worth considering. Paid maternity leave, free healthcare, childcare credits, food stamps, stable employment, worker protections, etc are way more important to working poor voters.

Either you are with us, or you are against us

Where have I heard that before? 🤔

Division only occurs as people follow their rational self interest - enforcing orthodoxy and silencing dissent to protect the party that failed us all, will only perpetuate their poor performance electorally. People who cannot afford the luxury of blind fealty will go somewhere else - even if that person is a charlatan grifter who never delivers. You cannot defeat populism with more elitism.

If you interpret an ally trying to help as an attack? Clearly I can’t help you brother
